There is something almost mystical about that FF salmon! If a cat won't eat that, he/she won't eat anything.

such good news about Andy! Everytime I log on, I come here first to see how he is doing (and you, too, Katie!).

(((hugs)))) to you both!

Me too!! Katie I am sitting here smiling at your latest update. Andy is going to be fine and you can thank yourself for your quick action and the skills of your vet. Of course lots of prayers have been offered up and I think the Good Lord was not quite ready for Andy yet.

I look forward to any photos that you post!

I could have sworn that I posted about the video but I think sometimes my brain takes mini vacations. Anyhow, just wanted to add that Andy looks great and you can't even tell that he's been through such trauma. I think you've both passed through the fire and all is going to be fine. A very thankful Thanksgiving for you, eh?

Did Andy go to his regular vet already?

I am so glad/relieved that Andy ate on his own! I too have checked here the first chance I get after work and first thing in the morning before leaving for work. Andy's a fighter, that's for sure.

More hugs and prayers headed your way!

What a wonderful video! I loved when Andy came over & flopped down on your leg -- and then threw one paw across you as if to say, "You're MINE, Mama."

I do so hope you realize that sweet Andy didn't EVER blame you for his awful accident, even when he was at his worst -- and it's obvious now that he is SO grateful to you for your loving care to help him get better. That boy is just crazy about his Meowmie.

I was so glad to read that he ate some on his own -- hooray for Fancy Feast! I hope he keeps eating more and more and feeling better as his burns begin to heal. Please give that sweet guy a snuggle for me, and nose kisses from my four-legged gang!

Love & Hugs,
Diana

Thank you all so much again.

Hugs, kisses, and love has been passed onto Andy.

Mary, I do feel this Thanksgiving will be more special than all of my others! I am so blessed.

Diana, He isnt half as crazy about me as I am him.

Crystal, His appointment is tomorrow at 2pm. I hate taking him back, but it must be done. Hopefully it will be over quickly, and he wont have to go back again for a year! He really gets nervous at the vets office, and it scares me that his heart rate will go up again. But I must do it, we gotta get that ear fixed!

I know I have asked for alot, but can I please get a few prayers that tomorrow will go smoothly and as less traumatic as possible?

Thanks again guys! Katie and Andy

PS- I also have to take Billy, as he has a half dollar sized ouchie on his neck. It had a little blood and it looks like he peeled all the skin off and it is fleshy and raw. I think it might be allergies... I just noticed it last night, because I have not done nightly *checks* on all the cats for a few days. Normally I give them all a once over before bed, feeling all over them, checking teeth and ears, also for lumps and scabs etc... When it rains it pours? But it will be taken care of with antibiotics and an allergy shot, and probably some antibiotic cream... This isnt the first time, nor the last.
